Best way to get cheap weapons

[Kowalski]

Hands out everywhere...

[Expediency]

Many (I'd say the vast majority) of droppable weapons under 250pp are not sold. They rot, are destroyed, are given away, or used as pet weapons. It can sometimes be harder to find a very cheap 10pp weapon than a much more expensive one.

I would not even go to EC to look for one. I'd just make a macro that says "new player xx class is trying to upgrade from (xxxlist current weaponxxx) and has 10pp to spend" and spam it in every zone you enter. I predict you have a new/free weapon within 30 minutes.

So to be fair, I wasn't asking for a handout. My goal in this was to spend plat I earned selling bone chips on items I wanted to help a friend get started. And yes getting 60 and farming items is a simple solution, though clearly unrealistic as a short term goal to be achieved. I didn't ask "What is the simplest method to get items?" I asked where I could best spend the money I already earned.

Sorry for the rant, as in all things internet I appreciate the helpful majority.

Crystalline spider fangs are really cheap and hard to beat starting out. Usually 150-250pp and its 10/22 iirc.

If you are in the EC area anyway, consider hitting up Rivervale (provided you are not Kill on sight!)

There is a huge volume of high level druids passing through, I bet many of them have unwanted weapons wasting their bank space.

Auctioning there that you are a newbie looking for a cheap entry level weapon might end well.

Level up and farm them.

Such a profound comment, thank you for your insight. I'm sure OP had no idea such a thing was possible. You've done a great service.
